Ethereal: a mosaic contest

Slow down a minute, my friend, and ponder with me in color.

Pastels are a whisper, a delicate dream.  They're colors too soft, too pure for this world.  They sing out with hope, with pure beauty and joy, always moving upwards.  Flying high - - - sometimes farther than we dare go.

And yet, something so light and sweet, demands contrast.  In amongst the shadows they shine!  The deep lows of of life's journey carve out the hilltops.  And blossoms are never so sweet in summertime.

Pastels can be bold or demure.  Reckless or orderly.  But always, always ethereal!  So far removed from earth, blood and bone.  Definitely feathered.  Full of light.

Can life be ever this lovely?  I wonder.   This fragile, I know.

Today let's curate colors that feel so exquisite, so dreamy as to belong to a perfect world.  Let's pay homage to the way pastel hues raise our hopes and our hearts.
